"Why did Uncle come here so early?"

"I don't know either!"

Lin Anji and Lin Anxiang lowered their heads and talked in low voices, occasionally looking up at Uncle Lin who was talking to Lin Anru.

The reason why the four brothers and sisters were afraid of Old Madam Lin but not Old Man Lin was mostly because of Uncle Lin.

Mr. Lin’s way of handling things is to reason with the children first, and only beat them when he is extremely angry.

Old Mrs. Lin is the complete opposite of Old Mr. Lin. When the children make mistakes, she basically doesn't beat or scold them, she just gives them a look.

If you don't understand her expression and continue to mess around, she will hit you directly. Of course, there are exceptions, such as when you directly irritate her, she will hit you immediately, and only then will she argue with you. But no matter what, she will show mercy to her own people.

Uncle Lin is an upgraded version of Old Lady Lin. He won't give you a look and let you figure it out yourself, but will give them a big show right from the start.

He will beat you until you are convinced, and then beat you again. Even if you admit your mistake halfway, he will never stop, and will beat you until you are scared.

He would show some mercy to outsiders, but when it came to his family members, he would beat them to death as long as he couldn't kill them.

The Lin brothers were fortunate enough to experience Uncle Lin's methods of dealing with people for a period of time. Even though more than ten years have passed, they still remember it vividly.

Seventeen years ago, when Old Lady Lin gave birth to her fourth child, she was already 27. While this is considered prime childbearing age in modern times, it was considered advanced maternal age in ancient times. Furthermore, the gap of ten years between her third and fourth births doubled the risk.

Uncle Lin, who was worried about Mrs. Lin, came to visit her when she was about to give birth, and then found a few nephews who were "hated by everyone".

Children aged twelve or thirteen are at the age of rebellion and are also at the age when they are fearless.

When it comes to educating his children, Mr. Lin only talks about it, but it has no real effect. Most of the time, he thinks his children are fine and that Mrs. Lin is making a big deal out of nothing and not even taking her teachings seriously.

Old Mrs. Lin is in poor health and wants to discipline her child, but she is powerless. Especially when she is pregnant, her temper gets flaring up easily, and she gets angry before she even starts educating the child.

When Uncle Lin came over, he happened to see the two brothers making Old Mrs. Lin so angry that she was gasping for breath. How could that be tolerated?

On that day, three of the Lin family's shoulder poles broke.

Two of them were hit by the brothers Lin Anji and Lin Anxiang, and the other one hit Grandpa Lin.

According to Uncle Lin, it was the father's fault if the child was disobedient, so Grandpa Lin suffered as well.

The only one who escaped the disaster was Lin Anru. At that time, he was secretly studying in the mountains with his future father-in-law.

He studied hard but also worked hard. When he came back, he not only brought back a load of firewood, but also brought back some bird eggs for Old Lady Lin to nourish her body.

With this comparison, doesn’t Lin Anru stand out among the three brothers?

There is no harm without comparison. Lin Anji and Lin Anxiang were taught a lesson again.

If the two brothers had restrained themselves at this point, Uncle Lin would not have become a shadow for them.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, I was full of vigor and vitality. After losing a fight with my uncle, of course I became more courageous!

At first, the two brothers fought alone and lost; then the two brothers cooperated and lost; then the father and sons fought together and lost; finally, they called on the families of Grandpa Lin’s brothers to join in, but still lost.

It's not like the two families are at war with each other, so we can't bring all the clan members along, right?!

Of course, Uncle Lin alone could not defeat the Lin family. When Grandpa Lin and the others called for help, Uncle Liu also started to call for help.

Uncle Lin doesn't need to invite his brothers and sisters and their families to help him. Just his own sons and grandsons are enough.

While Old Mrs. Lin was in confinement for a month, the entire Lin family was beaten up by Uncle Lin for a month.

He beat this group of people so hard that they wanted to avoid him whenever they saw him. Not only that, he also taught the people of the Lin family to give way to Old Madam Lin whenever they saw her.

Especially Mr. Lin, who used to get drunk with his wife from time to time, but now he would tremble when his wife spoke to him harshly.

"What are you two brothers doing slacking off about? Do you deserve to be punished?"

Lin Anji and Lin Anru shuddered, and the memory of death suddenly appeared in their minds. Their bodies reacted faster than their brains, and they raised their feet and ran.

“Huff, huff, huff!”

“It’s horrible!”

The two brothers looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

Lin Anji turned his head away immediately. Hey! Why did he leave with the second brother? Their relationship has broken down!

Lin Anxiang looked at his elder brother who suddenly got angry and left, confused. What happened? Weren’t they brothers in distress just now?

After the Lin Anji brothers were scared away, Uncle Lin was surrounded by the younger generations of the Lin family.

They kept calling "Uncle, Uncle".

Children's fear is very direct, and it is easy to turn it into liking. A small piece of candy can win them over.

After each of them received a piece of candy, Uncle Lin put on a fierce look and scared them all away, leaving only Lin Shiyu still hanging around him.

"Xiao Yu Yu, there's no more candy." So go away and don't bother me.

One of the reasons why Uncle Lin has a bad temper is that he feels annoyed by the chattering of children in his ears. When people get annoyed, they have to solve the problem first.

"Then I'll give you half of it, uncle."

Lin Shiyu pretended not to understand his implication and simply broke open half of the candy and handed it to him.

Uncle Lin was stunned for a moment when he took the half candy she handed him, and then put it in his mouth.

Not to mention, it’s quite sweet.

The two of them, one big and one small, sat not far away and watched quietly as the other members of the Lin family were busy.

Under their watchful eyes, the other members of the Lin family were so busy that they were about to take off.

Uncle Lin looked at the little person sleeping soundly beside him, feeling at a loss as to what to do.

Like Old Mrs. Lin, the younger generations in the family didn’t dare get close to Uncle Lin when he was at home. This was the first time a child fell asleep next to him.

"I'll take her back to sleep. Uncle, why don't you go and have a rest too?"

Lin Anru walked over, took her daughter and said.

Uncle Lin nodded and went to the next room to close his eyes.

Lin Shiyu was still a little dazed when she woke up. She was standing at the gate of her new home. In her small hands, she held a handful of dry bamboos tied with red ropes. Each bamboo was tied with a copper plate. A fire was lit on the top of the bamboos, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The same was true for the other members of the third branch of the Lin family. Each of them had a torch made of dry bamboo. Not only that, they also had red ropes tied on their clothes.
